We heard some reaction from Karl Rove and Sen. John McCain after President Obama outlined his vision of U.S. foreign policy at the West Point commencement address. He pushed back against critics who claim America is in decline in terms of global leadership, saying they are either "misreading history or engaged in partisan politics."

Good morning. Thank you, General Caslen, for that introduction. To General Trainor, General Clarke, and the faculty and staff at West Point – you have been outstanding stewards of this proud institution, and excellent mentors for the newest officers in the United States Army. I’d like to acknowledge the Army’s leadership – Secretary McHugh and General Odierno, as well as Senator Jack Reed – a proud graduate of West Point himself.
